Efficient customer service. They are a small, almost bespoke company that seem to value customer interaction. Any issues that arose (very few) were resolved quickly & amicably.
I believe many of the bad reviews here are outdated; it is clear that Sandy has taken on the ...

This agency is a without doubt worse I have ever experienced. Serious repairs take over months, responses to any queries same length and statutory nuisances like mold, which appeared due to their negligence, are considered as minor problem which does not need to be resolved. ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
I think they quite deliberately were threatening, bullying and completely dishonest. I feel like they tried to rob us. That may sound farfetched but to threaten people for money they do not owe is essentially trying to steal. To suggest how they could have been better is difficult when they deliberately behaved in that way. I would say they must be very unhappy people to be able to act in such a manner. I would suggest they should find a profession in which they are not expected to help people.

What agent could do to change your mind?
They are not capable of changing my mind or do anything better .
Unless they change their attitude towards their clients and tenants.
But sure they could have addressed the issues that I raised to them and resolved, instead they buried their heads and hand out a notice of quite because we complaint too much (With All The Rights Reasons) here is the video that produce to show how the boiler is.
